TJ Olsen update: Former Carolina tight end's son out of surgery

The Panthers 2024 first-round pick, receiver Xavier Legette, arrived in Charlotte to fanfare, introductions and a dream that doesn't yet seem real.

Muhammad, a Michigan native and former Panthers second-rounder, will be back in his old stomping grounds to announce the 39th overall pick tonight.

The move secures the 2021 first-rounder through the 2025 season, keeping the South Carolina standout home. 

Take a look at the players selected over the years by the Panthers in the second round, featuring a number of franchise legends including Hall of Honor wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad.

In addition to giving them the kind of wide receiver they lacked on the roster, the Panthers also bought an extra year of cost certainty by trading into the end of the first round to take him.

The Panthers made a trade on Thursday night, sneaking into the first round, selecting wide receiver Xavier Legette. 

When you're not chosen in the first round, you have to be patient. And you have to be prepared to be misled, cussed at, and worried about disappointing the family members who came to celebrate.

As the Panthers prepare for this weekend's NFL draft, those in the wide receiver group try to keep their head down, but with an eye and ear on the draft that could change their room. 

The Panthers coach was running around getting a workout, and then immediately shifting gears to final work on prospects. Plus more from Wednesday's voluntary minicamp.

Here's how to tune in to this week's NFL Draft.  

The veteran lineman was moved inside with the acquisition of a pair of top free agents, but the qualities that got him to the NFL have seemingly pointed him here for years.

Dave Canales kicks off his first minicamp by putting Bryce Young and Andy Dalton in QB school, sticking to basics with detailed teaching. The Panthers also had near perfect attendance on a perfect day.
